Question 1

3 year old has been throwing up for 8 hours. noticed hands are shaking and no strength. popsicle, tsp of water all comes up.

Accepted Answer

Visit ER: Unless it's a flu syndrome the family has passed to each other, I recommend taking him to the ER for evaluation and possibly IV fluids.   In IL, there has been this recent shivering 24 hour flu going around, but best not to take any chances.

Question 2

my 3 yr old has pneumonia in the left lung and is having shaking chills accompanied by confusion (new symptoms) tonight. should i go to the er?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Go the the er immediately. Confusion in the setting of pneumonia is a bad prognostic sign. Good luck!

Question 3

my daughter woke very lethargic, she threw up after eating and her temp is 97.5 degrees?  whats a normal range for a three year old girl?

Accepted Answer

That's Normal: Observe closely any problem call your pediatrician.

Question 4

my three year old has had temps of 38.4 and up for 2 days now. alternating panado and neurofen and used an empaped last night. 
had grommets a week ago and check up at ent this week so ears are good. nose a bit runny but nothing bad. 5ml- 12kgs?

Accepted Answer

Comfort: Fever is the bodies natural response to illness. It drives up the heart rate so healing factors in the blood circulate faster. I see little benefit to treating low grade fever. Comfort care with simple feeds &amp; fluids is the main treatment.

Question 5

my 13 year old son gets lightheaded, shaking, feels cold and tingling and temp is 36?

Accepted Answer

Probable virus: The symptoms you describe are usually associated with a viral infection. The treatment would include bed rest, liquids, acetomenophen for fever. Of course if symptoms persist or there are complaints of sore throat, ear ache, or labored breathing., you should see a  doctor!

Question 6

3 year old has a chest cough no temp?

Accepted Answer

Supportive care: There is little evidence that any OTC cough med does anything for kids that age &amp; some that they thicken secretions making them harder to couugh up. A little lemon juice in a teaspoon of honey seems a benifit to most. A concentration on good nutrition &amp; fluid intake is the main treatment.

Question 7

my 3 year old has a constant dry tickly cough for 3 wks. no temp. he refuses to take any cough medicine. been giving him my avamys nasal spray but it hasnt worked and hes also refusing that. ?

Accepted Answer

Let him be: Studies in the US over a decade ago have shown little to no benefit of common cough meds to kids under six. They can actually thicken secretions where they are harder to cough up/out. Sometimes a little lemon juice added to a spoonful of honey will both help and be accepted by cranky kids.

Question 8

my 3 year old has a 103 temp and deep cough, labored breathing.  do i take her to the er ore treat the fever and wait to see my pediatrician?

Accepted Answer

Comfort measures: The average 3yo will have 5 respiratory & 2-3 diarrheal illnesses/yr.Many will have fever/most will self heal. Fever is not the enemy it is a signal that a kids system is trying to make the body too hot for germs to reproduce.It also increases blood flow & allows the immune system to kick in faster. If the kid is hydrated enough to pee every 6 hrs he can wait overnight & be reassessed in the am.

Question 9

my 3 year old son has had hi temp for 3 days and has now started getting white sores on his tongue?

Accepted Answer

Usually a virus: These are typically viral and self heal over time. As long as the mouth sores don't interfere with his ability to keep hydrated he should do okay. Chilled drinks, chilled applesauce, or popsicles help reduce the pain of the sores and promote hydration. If he gets to where he won't pee at least once every 8 hrs he's getting dry &amp; may need to be seen.

Question 10

3 year old 104 temp. no other symptoms other than just not feeling good.

Accepted Answer

Any rash?: if there is a rash then it is likely a virus. there are amny viruses going around this time of year. any other symptoms? tummy pain, nausea, vomiting. try tylenol (acetaminophen) or motrin. if it still persists and additional symptoms arise see your pediatrician.
